I currently own two of the same year vehicles. They BOTH have the same problem with the ECM. I have also spoken with multiple people who own Jeep vehicles @ the same year. We all seem to have; lifter, Rod knocks, oxygen sensors and ECM that have caused multiple other problems (and severe accidents) due to their malfunctioning. I have had both of my vehicles to licensed mechanics, who have advised me of the same problem. One of the 2011 Jeep Libertys have been owned by me since brand new, the other was bought used. PLEASE PLEASE help us out!!! I have spent so much money trying to repair these vehicles!!! THE ECM & OXYGEN SENSOR need to be recalled!!!

DURING FILLING UP WITH GAS, WITH THE VEHICLE PARKED ON LEVEL GROUND WITH ENGINE OFF, THE FUELING NOZZLE WILL CLICK OFF WHEN THE TANK IS FULL. HOWEVER, APPROXIMATELY 1 SECOND AFTER THE NOZZLE CLICKS OFF, A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF FUEL SURGES BACK OUT ONTO THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE, THE OPERATOR, AND THE GROUND. ESTIMATE ABOUT 1-2 CUPS OF FUEL. THIS HAPPENS REGARDLESS OF WHETHER FUELING FAST OR SLOW. ! ASIDE FROM DAMAGING THE PAINT AND FINISH ON THE VEHICLE, FUEL SPLASHING ONTO THE OPERATOR CREATES A VERY HAZARDOUS SITUATION!

WHEN THE HELL IS CHRYSLER GOING TO TAKE THE FUEL OVERFLOW/SPILLAGE ISSUE SERIOUSLY! RATHER THAN JUST CHARGING THEIR CUSTOMERS $1200 MORE TO REPLACE TANK, REPLACE THE CHECK VALVE IN THE TANKS!

WHEN FILLING UP THE GAS TANK, THE PUMP WILL STOP WHEN THE TANK IS FULL. THEN HOWEVER, THE TANK BURPS UP FUEL ALL OVER THE PLACE, AT LEAST A COUPLE CUPS WORTH. THIS MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE TO FILL UP THE TANK ALL THE WAY, AND IF I DO THEN GASOLINE GETS SPILLED ALL OVER THE PLACE: THE GROUND, THE CAR BODY, AND ALL OVER THE TIRE. NOT SAFE.

THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH GASOLINE OVERFLOWING FROM THE TANK OF OUR 2011 LIBERTY AFTER THE GAS PUMP HAS SHUT OFF. THIS HAPPENS AFTER THE INITIAL SHUT OFF AS WE ARE NOT TOPPING OFF THE TANK. ABOUT 1 SECOND AFTER THE PUMP STOPS AUTOMATICALLY GASOLINE WILL SPRAY OUT OF THE FILLER NECK AND ALL OVER THE GROUND. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT DIFFERENT FILLING STATIONS; SO IT DOES NOT SEEM LIKE A PUMP ISSUE. IT ONLY HAPPENS AFTER THE PUMP HAS STOPPED. IT DOES NOT HAPPEN WHILE THE GAS PUMP IS RUNNING.
